Hi,

This is my first attempt to detect faces with OpenCV but i am getting strange results. I am using the newest OpenCV files. but something is not right and i am getting detectMultiScale to fill the faces vector with 265290877 unusable entries. where most of them look like this [0] = {x=0 y=0 width=-1414812757 height = -1414812757}. so does any one know what i am doing wrong?
